Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. (LTH): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Cyclical · Leisure · United States · High Growth
Is LTH undervalued?
LTH closed at 40.56 on 16 Oct 2026, 29% below the GLS average fair value of 56.96 from 6 models (3 of them above the price). That is a moderate margin of safety: the stock passes the "below fair value" rule of the Sunday Scan, and the Wheel Score gives it 24 of the 25 Value points.
The 6 models disagree widely: EPV gives 20.74 while GLS Growth gives 114.29. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files LTH under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for LTH
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 24.98 | -38% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 106.78 | +163% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 46.67 | +15% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 114.29 | +182% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 28.30 | -30% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
On financial health LTH scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 5.4 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 3.8%, ROE 12.0%, ROA 4.3% - with debt at 2.16 times equity and negative free cash flow. Debt of 2.16 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.
Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Membership 69%, In Center 28%, Product and Service, Other 3% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 2/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded Congressional buy was on 24 Aug 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 3.8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.4 / 10 | ROE | 12.0% |
| Debt / equity | 2.16 | ROA | 4.3% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -1.7% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 2 / 10 |
Wheel Score 87: Prime
LTH scores 87 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Prime band (80 and above), which fewer than one stock in twenty reaches on any night. The score blends five things a wheel trader checks before selling a cash-secured put: the margin of safety (Value, 24/25), Piotroski health (16/20), the GLS moat (8/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (19/20).
Implied volatility is 53% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. The option chain is deep: 70,009 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 3.5M shares a day on a market cap of $9.1B, with a beta of 1.49 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 19 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 24 / 25 | 29% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 8 / 15 | moat 5.4/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 53% | |
| Stability | 19 / 20 | 3.5M shares/day, $9.1B cap, beta 1.49 |
